PROTIM LIFEWOOD H3 (235WR) TREATED RADIATA PINE
Material Safety Data Sheet
Used in building and for structures, fences etc, particularly where borer and rot
resistant timber is required. Sawing and sanding produces dust which contains
the preservative chemicals.

HEALTH HAZAR
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWE
Overexposure is unlikely in this form and quantity.
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
EYE
The dust is mildly abrasive to the eyes.
PROTIM LIFEWOOD H3 (235WR) TREATED RADIATA PINE
Material Safety Data Sheet
SKIN
The material may be mildly discomforting to the skin and is capable of causing
skin reactions which may lead to dermatitis.
INHALE
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Wood dusts are respiratory sensitisers which may result in asthma-like
symptoms.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are by skin contact, inhalation of machining dust and
exposure to volatile tin compounds when treated timber is burnt. Treated timber
for children??s playground equipment or for use in log cabins, should before use
be:
Aged 14 days to "fix" treatment chemicals and thoroughly dry timber of any
residual hydrocarbon. Failure to observe this condition m result in timber wet
ay
with treatment chemicals being handled, with considerably increased hazard of
hydrocarbon exposure and heavy-metal contact. Wood dusts are respiratory
sensitisers and special care must be taken in their management; this is true for
both treated and untreated timbers. Treated timber has a long history of safe use
with human and stock exposure, provided reasonable occupational hygiene is
observed. Treated timber must NOT be used for cooking over open fires,
barbecues, spit roasts. Tin compounds are released and volatilised by burning
and may cause serious food contamination.
FIRST AI
SWALLOWE
DO NOT induce vomiting.
Observe the patient carefully. Never give liquid to a person showing signs of
being sleepy or with
reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious. Give water (or milk) to rinse out
mouth. Then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably
drink. Seek medical advice.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
Immediately hold the eyes open and wash with fresh running water. Ensure
irrigation under the eyelids by occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. If pain
persists or recurs seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye
injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.

Material Safety Data Sheet
SKIN
If product comes in contact with the skin:
Wash affected areas thoroughly with water (and soap if available). Seek medical
attention in event of irritation.
INHALE
If dust is inhaled, remove to fresh air.
Encourage patient to blow nose to ensure clear breathing passages. Rinse
mouth with water. Consider drinking water to remove dust from throat. If irritation
or discomfort persists seek medical attention.
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled: Remove to fresh air. Lay patient
down. Keep warm and rested.
If available, administer medical oxygen by trained personnel.
If breathing is shallow or has stopped, ensure clear airway and apply
resuscitation. Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
ADVICE TO DOCTO
1. For acute or short term repeated exposures to organic tin compounds:
Severe exposure results in tinnitus, deafness, memory loss, psychosis,
coma,disorientation and respiratory depression after a latent period of 1-3
days.
2. Permanent neurologic sequelae include extrapyramidal hyperkinesia.
3. The material produces erythmetous skin lesions
4. Management is primarily supportive.
5. British Anti-Lewisite and d-penacillamine are not effective as chelators.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
EXPOSURE STANDARDS
None assigned. Refer to individual constituents.
PINUS RADIATA - TIMBE
wood dust (soft wood):
ES TWA*: 5 mg/m3, STEL: 10 mg/m3 [Sensitiser]
TLV TWA*: 5 mg/m3; STEL: 1 0 mg/m3
Inspirable dust concentrations in a worker's breathing zone should be collected
and measured in accordance with AS3640.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Avoid generating and breathing dust.
PROTIM LIFEWOOD H3 (235WR) TREATED RADIATA PINE
Material Safety Data Sheet
When cutting or sanding wear disposable dust mask AS1 715-1991 Class P2.
Effective dust extraction and good ventilation is required when sawing or
machining. Avoid sawing or sanding of timber that is wet (not dry) with treatment
chemicals.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
When sawing or machining:
Safety glasses with side shields.
Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all
lenses concentrate them.
HANDS/FEET
Impervious gloves. Safety footwear. Avoid contact with ash.
OTHE
Overalls.
Barrier cream.
Eyewash unit.
